Answer 1

Make sure python is installed globally, The steps are like this:

On AWS side:

Go to amazon AWS center -> Services -> Identity and Access Management (IAM) -> Users -> find your User and click on it -> pick Security Credentials tab -> create Access Key

Installation: On command line / bash

curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
unzip awscliv2.zip
sudo ./aws/install

Optional: if aws version is not found yet ,set up the aws path on your bash profile.

vim ~/.bash_profile
#paste this line
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/aws

Configuration:(Final Step) Configure your credentials as following

aws configure

Fill in the properties you got from aws website and connect your account. attaching an example for this step.

AWS Access Key ID [None]: abcd

AWS Secret Access Key [None]: zyx123!@#

Default region> name [None]: us-east-1
